Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of Curcumin on rats with severe acute pancreatitis associated renal injury and explore the possible mechanisms.Methods A total of 72 rats were randomLy divided into sham-operated group(S group, n =24), severe acute panceratitis with renal injury group(M group, n =24) ,Curcumin-treated group(Cur group,n=24).The S and M groups were given 1.5 ml saline through intragastric administration 3 hours before operation,while the Cur group was fed with same amount of Curcumin diluent(200 mg/kg).The pancreas and pancreatic tail-segment was dissociated and the head of pancreas was occlused in rats to form the model,blood vessel forceps was loosed after 3 hours.All the rats were sacrificed at 12 h,24 h, 36 h and 48 h after modeling.The level of ascites, serum amylase, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen were detected and the pathological chang of pancreas was observed under light microscope.Take the right kidney for Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) determination and the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1αmRNA in the right kidney was detected with realtime polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results Compared with Cur group, the level of ascites, serum amylase, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen in M group were significantly increased, but the activity of SOD, the express of hypoxia inducible factor-1αmRNA had a significant decline (P＜0.05).The tissue damage of pancreas and the kidneys became more serious.But a better performance was to be found in the function of the Cur group's kidney and pancreas, and the the difference was statistical significance (P ＜0.05).Conclusion Curcumin has a good protective effect on severe acute pancreatitis associated renal injury.It may be through up-regulation expression of HIF-1α mRNA and increase the activity of superoxidase dismutase, then reduce the cell apoptosis and necrosis of the kidney, improve the ability of the kidney to tolerate hypoxia.
